Dr. Szabat is dedicated to the naturopathic philosophy of balancing the whole person – body, mind, and spirit.  To enhance the physical and mental well-being of her patients, she carefully selects the appropriate therapeutic interventions, which may include botanical medicine, homeopathy, dietary modifications, oral supplementation, meditation and visualization techniques, Jikiden Reiki, or nutritional IV therapy.  She also employs naturopathic physical medicine treatments such as ultrasound, microcurrent, low level laser, diathermy, and hydrotherapy. To promote a good partnership with patients, Sandy also spends extensive time listening and offering counseling if warranted.

A CUTTING EDGE FOUNDATION IN ANCIENT ENERGETIC & SPIRITUAL MODALITIES

Sandy’s commitment to treating the whole person inspired her to pursue advanced training in spiritual studies, metaphysics, and energetic healing techniques through the Modern Mystery School (MMS).   This aspect of Dr. Szabat’s education has allowed her to bring the wisdom of the ancients into contemporary times for the well-being of her clients.  She has also personally received great benefit from the classes and healing techniques, finding more balance, vitality, and clarity of her life’s purpose.  Under the auspices of MMS, Sandy is trained as a Life Activation Practitioner, Certified Healer, Guide, and Ensofic Ray Practitioner.  She is also authorized to teach classes pertaining to a variety of basic metaphysical principles, including Sacred Geometry and Spiritual Intuition.

Dr. Szabat is an empathetic, conscientious, and wholistic practitioner.  She integrates art and science in the methods she uses to promote balance in body, mind, and spirit.  Sandy also encourages you to explore and expand your vision of who you are.  She will work with you to create customized protocols that contribute to optimal wellness, personal development, and/or spiritual connection.  These, in turn, open your heart so you can perceive what is possible for you to achieve and be in your life.
